Texas National Guard soldier patrolling border shoots migrant after struggle

A National Guard soldier patrolling along the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas shot a migrant Sunday as the pair were struggling during a confrontation, according to reports.

The Texas Tribune, citing a document obtained from the Texas Military Department, reported that the shooting is the first known incident since Operation Lone Star began in which a soldier has shot and injured a migrant. The injured migrant's condition was reportedly not life-threatning.

I just can't believe that this is going on at our borders. Our border patrol shouldn't have to fight with anybody. It's just all open and it's bringing all the drugs in and sex trafficking and human trafficking. It's horrible

I agree that the borders of the USA should NOT be open to just anybody and the anybody's who feel they have the right to just come on in should be shot on sight,

@Maxsmom : Mind you that it states this is the first time its happened at all since the deployment 3 years ago.

And yet we have police shootings on a daily basis here..........

Thousands are coming in illegally and we need to take more action.

I hope there are witnesses, if not the DOJ Will probably try to prosecute the officer.

@Maxsmom : No kidding. I haven't travelled a lot internationally, but I had to fill out a declaration form when I did travel to the Bahamas and Barbados. The form had my passport number, length of stay, where I was staying, etc. Had to turn that in before I got off the plane. So how is it that people can just stroll on over. I know that most of the people who are doing this are not terrible people, but there's still an element that is coming here with no intentions to do anything but wreak havoc. It is ridiculous.

@RajunCajun : We should be more like the Bahamas and Barbados
